5 Preface By H.E.Dr.Jobarah bin Eid Al-Suraisry Minister of Transport Kingdom of Saudi Arabia achieved a great development in Highway and construction fields during a short period of time, and it has an advanced Highway networks matching with the finest Highway networks in the world comparable in its structure and bridges. Concrete structures as bridges and culverts represent vitally essential part of network elements. Quality of concrete in Saudi Arabia was raised because of using ready-mixed concrete. This development would achieved for the grace of Allah, and unlimited support from the Government of the Custodian of the Tow Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud and his royal highness Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud. Using of ready-mixed concrete in Highway projects and bridges gives a great impact in raising the level of concrete work and also it gives possiabilty for using deferent types of cement and producing different types of concrete (from ordinary concrete to high strength concrete and high performance concrete),although the Kingdom environment characterized by cruel and adverse effect on concrete structures. The process of design and implementation of concrete bridges are still based primarily on the basis of their ability to 5
6 transfer loads only, without any regard to the durability of concrete and its ability to resist the elements of nature and the environment. Accordingly, this is the time to activate the role of «Durability Based Approach» in the three stages of construction: design, implementation, and maintenance. Among the most important ways to activate the trend towards of durability and resistance to time is the use of high-performance concrete, which will be covered in this guideline. I hope that this guideline helps all persons interested in High performance concrete implementation and design. With best Wishes of success,,,,,,,, 6
7 Preface By H.E Eng. Abdullah bin Abdul-rahman Al- Mogbel Deputy Minister of Transport For Road Highway and bridge projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are the biggest and the more numerous in the Arab world. Ministry cares by raising the efficiency of bridges not only in terms of transfer the loads from vehicles, but also in terms of bridges resistance to the environmental and climatic conditions. Ministry has concerned with research and studies deal with this area and contracted with one of the local consultants to cooperate in preparing the study on the application of the system in high-performance concrete in projects of Ministry of Transport to take into account the durability and ( resistance ) factors. High-performance concrete has several definitions, and the definition of HPC according to Strategic Highway Research-SHRP can be summarized as follows: A highest proportion of water to cement (W/C) = 0.35 Minimum durability factor is 80% as measured in s (ASTM C666) Minimum Compressive Strength for Concrete. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has proposed a definition of high-performance concrete using concrete in the performance at latest 7
8 age. The proposed definition depends on four factors for the durability and four factors for the resistance of concrete. In addition, American Concrete Institute ( ACI) has been defined high-performance concrete as a concrete, given the special requirements in the performance and consistency that can not be obtained always from using regular components and regular method of mixing and treatment as usual, and these requirements can be summarized as follows: Easy for casting and compaction without any effect on concrete strength. High resistance at late ages. High strength. Volume stability. Long life at hard climate conditions. The bridge engineers should put into their consideration when determining the definition of high-performance concrete all the factors of durability and resistance, because the performance of concrete will be measured by several factors and linked to their respective concrete resistance and determining the performance of each factor by standard tests. In economic side, the cost per cubic meter of high-performance concrete is more than the cost per cubic meter of normal concrete because the highperformance concrete, contains higher amounts of cement and other cement materials and quantities of the highest additions of concrete plasticizers, plasticizers. But it must be known that concrete is only one of the component used in concrete construction. The total cost of the bridges depends on several 8
9 other factors, including the implementation period and the amount of concrete used, which could be much reduced in case of using high-performance concrete. As the pressure resistance of the concrete have the greatest influence in the design and the tensile strength has a secondary effect on the design, the use of concrete to resist high pressure may lead to increase bridges spans up to 145%, which are used by concrete with normal resistance, and the use of concretes with high resistance has led to use a cable diameter of 15.2 mm. This guide has been taken into account the definition of the properties of high performance concrete, different grades of HPC, specifications of the various constituent materials available in the Kingdom and the way of design, and the standard tests for quality control of high-performance concrete in accordance with the conditions of the Kingdom. The ministry advises all contractors and consultants who are associated with its projects to abide by the steps and instructions given in this manual in pursuit of the public interest. 9

20 Part ( 3 ) : Mix Design 3-1 Mix Design Steps and Affecting Factors Selection of mix proportions for High performance concrete can be summarized in the following steps. Step No. (1): Selection of workability & Compressive strength: High workability is one of the important properties of High Performance Concrete. In this case; it is prefer to measure the diameter of concrete flow by Slump Flow instead of Slump. Slump Flow shall not be less than 500 mm. For design compressive strength, it can be calculated by using equation No.(1) Fcr = 0.9 Fc S (1) (Fcr): Design Compressive Strength of concrete (Fc): Characteristic Compressive strength of concrete (S) : Standard Division If The data of the standard division is not available, Equation No. (2) can be used to determine Design Compressive Strength. Fcr = Fc + 10 MPa (2) It is known that Compressive Strength of Concrete after 56 days and 90 days is higher than compressive strength after 28 days, this is noticeable in the concrete containing Fly Ash and Slag but it is not the same for the concrete containing Silica Fume. Compressive Strength required at later ages should be used in the test to obtain economic mixes because the selection of cement materials content depends on the required compressive strength at the age of test. 20
21 Step No. (2): Selection Coarse Aggregate Size: (ACI 318) provided that the Maximum Nominal Size for Coarse Aggregate shall be not more than (1 /5) smallest distance between the forms and shall not more than (1 /3) of Slab thickness or (3 /4) of distance between reinforcing bars. As mentioned previously, High Compressive Strength depends on Coarse Aggregate size. Generally, selection of coarse aggregate size can be according to the following: Concrete with Compressive Strength less than 62 Mpa: Use NMS (19 mm 25 mm). Concrete with Compressive Strength more than 62 Mpa: Use NMS (12.5 mm 19 mm). Step No. (3): Selection Coarse Aggregate Proportion: Table No.(4) shows the recommended volume of Coarse Aggregate as a percent of Concrete volume for each MNS in case of using Fine aggregate with Fine Modulus equal Table No.(4) Recommended Coarse Aggregate volume for different MNS MNS (mm) 25mm 19mm 12.5mm 9.5mm Standard Volume of Coarse Aggregate as a portion of Concrete Volume After determining the coarse aggregate volume, the weight of coarse aggregate can be calculated by using equation NO. (3) Weight of coarse aggregate = Standard volume of coarse aggregate from Table (4) X Dry Density (3) 21
22 Step No. (4): Calculation of Water Content and Air Content in Mix: Water content used in mix depends on required degree of workability degree and the volume, shape, and gradation of coarse aggregate. Also, it depends on cement quantity and admixture type and content. Table No. (5) shows the estimated water content which must be confirmed by conducting a trial mixtures. Table No. (5) Estimated Water Content and Air Contents at Air voids 35% in Fine aggregate Slump flow (mm) 25 Coarse Aggregate size (mm) mm mm mm Flow Concrete Air Entrainment 1.5% 2% 2.5% 3% Note: Water Content determined from Table No. (5) by considering that air voids in fine aggregate = 35% Air voids in Fine Aggregate can be calculated by using equation No.(4) Air Voids in Fine Aggregates (%) = 1 (Dry Density / Specific Gravity) X 100 (4) If Air Voids is not equal 35%, Water Content should be corrected by using equation No. (5) Corrected Water Content = Water Content from table (5) X (Air voids in fine aggregate calculated / 35) (5) 22
23 Note: Water Content at table No.(5) for any mix can be reduced by 30%, If Super-plasticizers) type (G &F) are used. Step No. (5): Selection of Water/Cement Ratio (W/C): Compressive Strength of Concrete depends on water cement ratio (W/C) or water cementitious materials ratio (W/C+P). In addition, workability of concrete depends also on the water cement ratio. Table No.(6) is used to select (W/C+P) for compressive strength after 28 days or 56 days as a function of coarse aggregate size. Table No. (6) Recommended Maximum (W/C+ P) (W/C+P) Compressive Strength (Mpa) Coarse Aggregate Size 25 mm 19 mm 12.5 mm 9.5 mm After 28 days After 56 days After 28 days After 56 days After 28 days After 56 days After 28 days After 56 days After 28 days After 56 days After 28 days After 56 days
24 Step No. (6): Calculation of Cement Materials Content: Required cement weight can be calculated according to equation No. (6) Cement Content = Water Content from step No. (4) / (W/C+P) from step No.(5) (6) Step No. (7): Calculation of Mix Ratio: In case of using Cement only without any supplementary cementitious materials, weight of cement equal cement content determined from step No. (6). Then by using absolute volume method,sand or Fine Aggregate content in one cubic meter of mix can be calculated according to equation No. (7). C/γc + W/γw + G/γg + S/γs + %air content x 1000 = 1000 L (7) Step No. (8): Calculation of Mix Ratio in case of using Supplementary Cement Materials: In case of using Fly Ash, it will be used by proportion between (15%- 35%) of cement weight according to Fly Ash type. In Case of Using Silica Fume, It will be used by pro portion between (5% - 15%) of cement weight, but prevailing rate is 10% of cement weight. In case of using Blast Furnace Slag, It will be use by proportion between (30% - 70%) of cement weight. After determining the rate of Supplementary Cement Materials, Weight of these materials can be calculated by multiplying the used rate by require cement materials weight calculated from equation No.(6) Volume of any Supplementary material (Vp)= (P/ γp) Weight of Fine aggregate can be calculated from equation No.(7) after adding (P/ γp). 24
25 Step No. (9): Trial mixes: After determining quantities of different materials used in concrete mix from step (1) up to step (8), and running different trial mixes to measure workability and strength of concrete mix, fine aggregates, coarse aggregate, water content will be modified. Trial mixes are considered successfully, if a homogenous mix is obtained and can be used to cast the equivalent number of samples used to measure the strength. Step No. (10): Modifying and adjustment mix proportions: If the required properties of concrete are not achieved, it is necessary to adjust mix proportions as following steps to get the required workability. If the flow of concrete is not achieved during trial mix, water content and cement content shall be increased with keeping a constant W/C ratio. Then other component contents shall be modified. Also, dosage of admixtures shall be modified to obtain the required workability. The coarse aggregate content shall be decreased if a coarse mix is obtained and consequently fine aggregate content shall be increased. Step No. (11): Choosing the optimal mix proportions: After trial mixes and adjustment of mix proportions are finished and achieved required workability and required strength, cylinder samples for measuring compressive strength will be prepared in the field conditions to check the suitability of the mix proportions to the site condition. 25
26 3-2 Mix Design Examples (A): Example without using Supplementary Cement Materials: It is required to design High Performance Concrete mix to use in a bridge in central area with compressive strength= 60 MPa after 28 day, and by using available materials in this area : Ordinary Portland cement from Saudi Cement Company (Al- Hafof Factory). Fine Aggregate consists of dune sand and crushed sand mixed with proportions = 33% &76% respectively. Fine aggregate has a fine modulus = 2.7, specific gravity = 2.57, and absorption = 1.67% Coarse Aggregate is crushed limestone with MNS=12.5 mm. It has specific gravity =2.55, absorption = 1.93%, and dry density = 1549 Kg/m3 Step No. (1): Selection of Slump Flow & Compressive strength: Choosing Slump Flow to gives flow concrete by using 2% Super-plasticizer of cement weight. No Available data about standard division, then; Fcr = = 70 MPa Step No. (2): Selection Coarse Aggregate Size: For High Performance Concrete with Compressive Strength = 70 Mpa, NMS for Coarse aggregate = 12.5 mm Step No. (3): Selection Coarse Aggregate Proportion: From Table No.(4), the recommended volume of Coarse Aggregate as a percent of concrete volume for MNS = 12.5 mm equal 0.68 m3. Weight of Coarse Aggregate = 0.68 X 1549 = 1053 Kg 26
27 Step No. (4): Calculation of Water Content and Air Content: From table No.(5) Estimated Water Content at Slump (50mm) & MNS of coarse aggregate (12.5mm) is equal 196 Liter and air entrainment = 2.5 % Step No. (5): Selection of (W/C): From Table No.( 6) (W/C+P) at Compressive Strength = 70 MPa after 28 days is equal 0.32 Step No. (6): Calculation of Cement Materials Content: using 2% Super-plasticizer of cement weight reduced water content by 20% Water Content = 196 X 80% = 157 Liter. (W/C+P) Weight = 157 / 0.32 = 490 Kg/m3 Step No. (7): Calculation of Mix Ratio: By using absolute volume method, Fine aggregate Weight can be determined C/γc + W/γw + G/γg + S/γs + % air content x 1000 = 1000 L 490 / / / S/ x 1000 = S + 25 = S = = 250 S = 250 /0.389 = 643 kg From the above procedures, Mix proportions can be given in the following Table.

28 After running trial mixes, If mix is coarse, sand weight can be increased, the weight of coarse aggregate shall be adjusted. (B): Example with using Silica Fume: If silica fume is used in mix and its content is 10% of cement weight. Silica Fume Weight = 49 Kg / m3 Cement weight = = 441 Kg/m3 Water Content = 157 Kg/m3 Coarse Aggregate Weight = 1053 Kg/m3 Fine Aggregate Weight (S) can be determined as follows; 441/ / / / S/ x 1000 = S + 25 = 1000 S = 245.4/ = 630 kg Note : In case of using Silica Fume, Admixture rate will increase to 2.5% of cement materials.
